So, this is like the end of a movie in the Wong Fei Hung series, as if it was the sentence Wong Fei Hung said after participating in the Lion King Championship:

We won the gold medal and lost the country? ”

Zheng Fan said while drinking tea.

In front of him, Xue San was barbecuing, Fan Li was helping to pile firewood, and Liang Cheng was sitting on the side watching.

After the end of that battle, the Yan army advanced eastward again, and it was never blocked by the Savage King's department again, and what it encountered on the way was basically sporadic resistance from the local savage tribes.

Then, the news that Chengguo's snow customs had been breached.

The Marquis of Jingnan ordered the army to stop its eastward advance and camp on the spot.

This time the garrison is different from the previous battle to recuperate, this time purely because this battle cannot be continued at all.

Xue San handed the half of the rabbit that had been roasted first to Zheng Fan and said:

"Lord, at the beginning, this Situ family thought it was hanging, but I didn't expect it to be a fool."

"What's the matter?" Fan Li shouted.

"Eat your flesh!"

Xue San turned his head and continued to say to Zheng Fan:

"Lord, in this way, this battle is really difficult to fight, do we have to return to the court?"

"I don't know, I have to wait for Jingnanhou to make an idea, Ah Cheng, what do you think?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Lord, this battle is probably really unfought, if we continue to advance eastward, our troops and horses are likely to be intercepted by the heavy army of the Savage King, we were able to break through all the way before, and it is also because the Savage King's focus has always been on the front line of the Snow Customs, and now, he can completely free his hands.

In addition, it is very dangerous for the army to be alone in the snowfield, and recently I have noticed that the number of sick soldiers in the army has begun to increase.

On top of that, we no longer have a definite strategic goal. ”

Zheng Fan listened and drank tea, since the snow, he was really tired of eating meat, and he had to need tea to scrape the greasy in his stomach.

"It's hard to get it, it's hard to get it."

Zheng Fan sighed, this is obviously a victory all the way, but it turned out to be such a situation.

The snowfield is so big that you want to rule and play "extinction", and the cost is too much for you to bear.

Liang Cheng said:

"Unless Emperor Yan is willing to show the courage he had when he went south to Qianguo, mobilize more than 300,000 iron horsemen, and then enter the snow field, he will not hesitate to fight for two years for this purpose, and it will be possible to completely defeat and pacify the snow field."

Zheng Fan immediately said: "This is unrealistic. ”

Fighting the country can get population and wealth; Fight the Jin Kingdom, and you can get land.

What can you get by hitting the snowfield?

It is also possible, for example, there must be a lot of cattle, sheep and horses seized this time, which can almost feed Zheng Chengshou and the powerful landlords near Shengle City, but think about the 300,000 troops going out, what a terrible logistical burden this must be, and when the time comes, the captured cattle and sheep will not be enough to eat.

Moreover, if the savage king plays a guerrilla war with you, plays a green mountain without worrying about running out of firewood, deliberately does not fight with you, deliberately avoids you, is it true that 300,000 iron horsemen will play a game of cat and mouse with them on the snowfield?

Facts have proved that the savage king did indeed do such a thing.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the snow field is really pacified, how can such a vast and desolate area be ruled?

Ten or twenty years later, there will inevitably be repetitions, and it is good that the suppression continues, but if it is not suppressed, it will be all in vain after all the hard work.

At this time, a personal soldier came over.

"Lord Zheng, Master Hou called you over."

Zheng Fan nodded, signaling that he knew.

Xue San picked up a freshly roasted piece of pheasant and said:

"Lord, take this, there are chicken ribs in it, you can make up a golden sentence."

The demon kings are also worried about their performance in front of the big people.

Liang Cheng ruthlessly refuted:

"How did Yang Xiu die?"

Xue San stopped talking.

Zheng Fan gestured to a few subordinates with his eyes, didn't go to get any chicken ribs, first straightened up his armor, and came to the handsome tent.

In the handsome tent, Tian Wujing was sitting there alone, reading a book in his hand.

There is a stove next to it, and the soup should be stewed on it, and it is quite fragrant.

When Zheng Fan got closer, he found that Tian Wujing was holding the "Zheng Art of War" in his hand.

Zheng Chengshou's old face immediately turned red.

Seeing Zheng Fan come in, Tian Wujing put down the book in his hand and motioned for Zheng Fan to sit down.

Zheng Fan sat down, Tian Wujing pointed to the book, and said:

"The situation on that day is very much like the 'empty city plan' in your book."

When the blind man helped Zheng Fan "write a book", he added Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-six Strategies.

"Master Hou........."

"Ugh."

Tian Wujing let out a sigh.

In Zheng Fan's impression, Tian Wujing rarely shows this kind of emotion, he has always been like a rock.

"The situation has been eroded, you may not know, the snow customs to the south, for the savages, is equivalent to a horse and a flat river, and now the worst estimate is that the savages have been wreaking havoc in the territory of a small half of the country."

"So fast?"

"This is nothing unpleasant, since more than a hundred years ago, the Jin people have already established their own city fortress on the snow field.

Therefore, although the Snow Customs is a choke point stuck in the snow field and the land of the Three Jin Dynasty due to the terrain, in fact, it has long been not the front fort of the Jin people to guard against the savages.

It is precisely because of this that to the south of the Snow Pass, the Jin people have no important town and defense at all. ”

For hundreds of years, the Jin people have been bullying the savages, and after the Situ family established the status of the largest clan in the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom, they were also constantly developing externally.

The road from Shengle City to the Snow Plain is actually a better way to cross the Tiandu Mountains, otherwise there will be no business routes here, and on the easternmost side of the Tiandu Mountains, there is a smooth road, which directly connects the Snow Plains and the Jin Kingdom, and the pass on this smooth road is the Snow Customs.

But because the battle line was pushed to the snowfield early, the snow customs are certainly very good geographically, but strategically, they have not been taken seriously for almost a hundred years.

This time, after a series of failures in Chengguo, the cities and strongholds on the snow field outside the customs were almost buried, and then I thought of the importance of the snow customs, who knew that there was another wave of sends, and the snow customs were also lost, and then the savages went south, which was really smooth.

"As you said before, you want to lead an errand to suppress the savages in Shengle City, I'm afraid it won't work, the situation on the Chengguo side may be more serious than imagined, it's not tenable, it's hard to say.

If the Situ family does not hold on, half of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty will be reduced to the ranch of the savages, and the savages will also master various techniques such as the craftsmen of the Jin people, and their warriors will also be able to put on armor, and they will no longer be as vulnerable as the opponents they faced this time. ”

"This is a big deal, and the end will know how important it is."

In the past, savages were just a small problem, and it was enough to knock and knock from time to time, but Zheng Fan could take this errand.

But right now, the wild people are likely to flood into a big disaster, and it is impossible for the Yan Imperial Court to let Zheng Fan deal with it, and a general will definitely be arranged.

Now that Chengguo has not been destroyed, the situation has not completely collapsed, so the imperial court is likely to let Li Bao's troops move to the front line of Xinsu City.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is inevitable that Jingnanhou will have to go to the front line of Tongzhen in person.

"That savage king is indeed a character, this time, it can be said that the troops are not enough, it can also be said that it is the savage king who exchanged what he wants at the smallest price."

"Master Hou, don't worry, it's really not good, in the future, we will fight from the Situ family's territory and take back the snow customs again."

"This is something that the court will consider, but, in the end, it is not all bad, and if you can't face such a situation, the Situ family is likely to choose to ask Your Majesty for attachment."

Attached, that is, the whole country will vote, submit to you, and surrender to the throne.

Because in this war, Yan Guoyi did not take advantage of the fire to rob, and second, he also sent troops to help you, which can be described as full marks in terms of human favor and morality;

The second is that at present, the state of Chu is not mentioned in internal strife, even if there is no internal strife in the state of Chu, there is intermittent friction between the Situ family and the state of Chu for decades, and it is impossible to ask for help from the state of Chu.

As for Qianguo, let's not talk about the combat effectiveness of the Qianguo army, even if the Situ family is willing to invite, Qianguo is also willing to send troops, believe it or not, your army has just left the territory of Qianguo, and soon the Yan State Iron Cavalry will come over to collect people's heads?

Therefore, the Situ family only chooses to attach Dayan at the moment.

In this way, Yan Guo's benefit this time is still very great, of course, the premise is that the Situ family cannot be taken away by a wave again, otherwise Yan Guo, who has just ended the Three Kingdoms War, will go to clean up the mess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Master Hou, I really can't figure it out, how can the Situ family be so stupid?"

"Here, there are internal reasons, and the specific situation will have to wait for the military report from there in the future. However, Ben Hou guessed that it should be Situ Lei's murder of his father and seizure of the throne, which led to a split within the Situ family, Situ Lei is the third son of the old family master, although he is not a son-in-law, but he is the best one, and he is also recognized as the future successor of the Situ family.

His two elder brothers were kicked away by him early, and they were known as guarding the snowfield in order to prepare for troubles and defend the family for the family. ”

"So, here's ........."

"It's not certain for the time being, and let's see if there will be news of Situ Lei's two brothers dying in battle in the future, but in the earliest investigation of the savage king by the secret spy department, there was speculation that the savage king had a very close relationship with the eldest son and the second son of the Situ family, and in front of them, he claimed to be the righteous grandson, shouting that the two of them were the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather, and they also had close business dealings with the two sons."

If this is the case, then the Situ family is really unjustly defeated, of course, you can't blame Situ Lei for destroying the Great Wall, because no one could have predicted that the wild man would become the climate again, and his two elder brothers were just thrown out and sent away from the political center.

Besides, even the savage king can really put down the shelf and recognize Situ Lei's two brothers as grandfathers, which is even more licking than thinking of righteous sons.

But this is also a good time to lick.

Tian Wujing pointed to the pot on the small stove beside him and said:

"Don't talk about this, drink some chicken soup?"

"Hou Ye's chicken soup, the last general still has to drink."

"Huh."

When Zheng Fan was about to get up to serve it, Tian Wujing raised his hand to signal Zheng Fan to sit down, he picked up the pot with his hand and put it on the table, took two more bowls, and began to serve the soup.

When the soup was served, Tian Wujing scooped out a piece of chicken ribs and put it into Zheng Fan's bowl, and asked at the same time:

"Chicken ribs, do you like to eat them?"

"Love !!"

Zheng Fan ignored the heat, directly reached out and picked up the chicken ribs and gnawed them with his teeth, crunching and crunchy.

Tian Wujing shook his head and said:

"It's just that this chicken rib has no meat and no taste."

"Master Hou, I've eaten too much meat these days, so I want to eat something tasteless and press it, I like it!"

"Huh."

Both of them picked up their bowls and drank the soup slowly.

When you're done,

Jing Nanhou gently put the bowl on the table,

Road:

"Withdraw tomorrow."
